Around the world, kids like you walk more than three miles to collect water every day. Oftentimes, this water makes them too sick to play or attend school.
You can help provide safe water for kids around the world by participating in the Walk for Water.

GET INVOLVED
Raise Funds
Host a lemonade stand. Use pre-created flyers and posters, and ask your parents to share about your lemonade stand on social media. Download these resources to jumpstart your lemonade stand planning today.
Bake sale or yard sale. Clean out your closet and sell toys that you no longer play with at a yard sale. If you like to bake, consider selling cookies or muffins, too. Put posters up around your community and have your parents share details on social media or community boards.
Car Wash. Clean neighborhood cars and ask participants to contribute donations to the Walk for Water.
Play a concert. If you are musical and have friends who are too, host a concert in your neighborhood, at your church, or even on Zoom. Tell your friends and family about your event, and sell tickets at the door or use a cash app.
Pre-Walk challenge. Ask friends and family to sponsor each mile of your Walk and to give you cash or a check that can be sent to Water Mission.
